This package is a meta package, collecting the components normally
expected to be installed for the GIT distributed version control
suite (the tool itself, the tk-based browser gitk, and the man pages).

Log message:
Changes 1.8.4:
* Cygwin port has been updated for more recent Cygwin 1.7.
* "git rebase -i" now honors --strategy and -X options.
* Git-gui has been updated to its 0.18.0 version.
* MediaWiki remote helper (in contrib/) has been updated to use the
credential helper interface from Git.pm.
* Update build for Cygwin 1.[57]. Torsten Bögershausen reports that
this is fine with Cygwin 1.7 ($gmane/225824) so let's try moving it
ahead.
* The credential helper to talk to keychain on OS X (in contrib/) has
been updated to kick in not just when talking http/https but also
imap(s) and smtp.
* Remote transport helper has been updated to report errors and
maintain ref hierarchy used to keep track of its own state better.
* With "export" remote-helper protocol, (1) a push that tries to
update a remote ref whose name is different from the pushing side
does not work yet, and (2) the helper may not know how to do
--dry-run; these problematic cases are disabled for now.
* git-remote-hg/bzr (in contrib/) updates.
* git-remote-mw (in contrib/) hints users to check the certificate,
when https:// connection failed.
* git-remote-mw (in contrib/) adds a command to allow previewing the
contents locally before pushing it out, when working with a
MediaWiki remote.

Log message:
Changes 1.8.3.4:
* The bisect log listed incorrect commits when bisection ends with
only skipped ones.
* The test coverage framework was left broken for some time.
* The test suite for HTTP transport did not run with Apache 2.4.
* "git diff" used to fail when core.safecrlf is set and the working
tree contents had mixed CRLF/LF line endings. Committing such a
content must be prohibited, but "git diff" should help the user to
locate and fix such problems without failing.

Log message:
Changes 1.8.3.3:
* "git apply" parsed patches that add new files, generated by programs
other than Git, incorrectly. This is an old breakage in v1.7.11.
* Older cURL wanted piece of memory we call it with to be stable, but
we updated the auth material after handing it to a call.
* "git pull" into nothing trashed "local changes" that were \
in the
index.
* Many "git submodule" operations did not work on a submodule at a
path whose name is not in ASCII.
* "cherry-pick" had a small leak in its error codepath.
* Logic used by git-send-email to suppress cc mishandled names like
"A U. Thor" <author@example.xz>, where the human readable part
needs to be quoted (the user input may not have the double quotes
around the name, and comparison was done between quoted and
unquoted strings). It also mishandled names that need RFC2047
quoting.
* "gitweb" forgot to clear a global variable $search_regexp upon each
request, mistakenly carrying over the previous search to a new one
when used as a persistent CGI.
* The wildmatch engine did not honor WM_CASEFOLD option correctly.
* "git log -c --follow $path" segfaulted upon hitting the commit that
renamed the $path being followed.
* When a reflog notation is used for implicit "current branch",
e.g. "git log @{u}", we did not say which branch and worse said
"branch ''" in the error messages.
* Mac OS X does not like to write(2) more than INT_MAX number of
bytes; work it around by chopping write(2) into smaller pieces.
* Newer MacOS X encourages the programs to compile and link with
their CommonCrypto, not with OpenSSL.
Also contains various minor documentation updates.

Log message:
Changes 1.8.3.1:
* When $HOME is misconfigured to point at an unreadable directory, we
used to complain and die. The check has been loosened.
* Handling of negative exclude pattern for directories "!dir" was
broken in the update to v1.8.3.
Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation
updates, updates to the test suite, etc.

Log message:
Changes 1.8.2.3:
* "rev-list --stdin" and friends kept bogus pointers into the input
buffer around as human readable object names. This was not a
huge problem but was exposed by a new change that uses these
names in error output.
* When "git difftool" drove "kdiff3", it mistakenly passed --auto
option that was meant while resolving merge conflicts.
* "git remote add" command did not diagnose extra command line
arguments as an error and silently ignored them.
Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation
updates, updates to the test suite, etc.
